That was the new "sports version" for Buick. Replaced the Buick Wild Cat 
I think.

73 was the start of the big safety push with the new impact bumpers and 
emissions crap. Ruined the look of a lot of nice cars.

I made a good chunk off them though. The front and rear bumpers on some 
of them between 73 and 79 were high quality aluminum alloy even on the 
ones with rubber covers. Those scrapped out real nice.
